PHILADELPHIA: Those with dementia who need a nudge to remember friends and loved ones, or get confused over what medication to take, will soon get help – from their spectacles.
Scientists are developing intelligent glasses that can recognise different people, for instance, and discreetly remind the user who they are; or tell him the right pills to take, and vibrate or sound an alarm when it is time to do so.
It is hoped that the new device will help more elderly people to cope and ease the load of caregivers.
